Innovation and transformation are critical for success in today’s world of increasing demands and

decreasing resources. As governments and communities demand that the public sector expands

its role from governance and administration to service delivery, public sector leaders must

develop new skills and thinking. It is not simply a matter though of emulating the private sector.

The very nature of public administration requires an unique way of thinking and response to

enable managers to meet new challenges.
